Why Yoga?

YOGA

Yoga is an ancient Indian art and philosophy that seeks to promote individual health and well-being through physical and mental exercise and deep relaxation. The word yoga itself means to “yoke” — to bring together. It aims to integrate the diverse processes with which we understand the world and ourselves. It touches the physical, psychological, spiritual, and mental realms that we inhabit. Yoga recognizes that without integration of these, spiritual freedom and awareness, or what the yogis call “liberation”, cannot occur.

For many people yoga is already a way of life. It is practiced for good physical and mental health and to live in a more meaningful way. The numerous health benefits, its potential for personal and spiritual transformation, and its accessibility make it a practical choice for anyone seeking physical, psychological, and spiritual integration.
